Restaurants in Alsace traditionally have a formal main dining room as well as a casual dining room known locally as a weinstube or brasserie. At the brasserie, diners may enjoy traditional, hearty Alsatian dishes in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. These friendly establishments are immensely popular with Alsatians and visiting them is always the best part of my trips back to Alsace. I opened Jacques' Brasserie at L'Auberge Chez François to bring the tastes and comforts of the Alsatian brasserie to Great Falls.

I had the salad and burger. The salad was refreshing. The frites were very good - probably the best I've ever had. One down side - I asked for a medium burger, I think it was medium rare. Still tasty though.

We always love going to the Brasserie. I love being able to order individually as opposed to a price fix menu. The food and service are always excellent. I love the champagne appertif. It is always hard to choose from the menu! We are going back in Feb and I can hardly wait!

We are long time fans of the main restaurant, this was our first time to the Brasserie. Food just as good, everything wonderful as usual. I will probably only do the main restaurant, though, as I prefer a more quiet setting, and most of the folks were VERY loud as it is more casual.

We started at the bar and Pam was our bartender. Who was wonderful. Then made our to the table for an amazing dinner. Everything was spectacular. I highly recommend the Brasserie because it didn't feel stuffy. Very relaxed and casual ambience with great service and delicious food.

A classic in Great Falls Va known for fine dining in the restaurant and more casual fare downstairs. It’s a solid go to and if you want to visit but not make it a big expensive event I recommend Jacques downstairs. Food is good, very good for that location. DC offers plenty of options but it’s such a unique spot in Great Falls that I highly recommend going at least once.

Our group of 6 women, celebrating a special birthday for one, thoroughly enjoyed the occasion. The menu provided something excellent for everyone, including those who eat vegetarian foods only. The service was outstanding, despite the packed seating, and the service had valuable suggestions for us. We never felt rushed and felt that we had celebrated the birthday in a special way. This is the first time that I have encountered difficulty with parking at this restaurant, but the staff were most helpful in giving up their own parking spots, so that we could park conveniently.

Jacques' Brasserie gives you that French cafe feel in the heart of Great Falls. Highly recommend this place. Great food and service. Brunch was amazing. I would highly recommend jumping on making a reservation as soon as possible. I have honestly liked everything that I have ever tried here!!

The experience of dining at Jacques' Chez Francois is an institution on the DC-Northern Virginia area - the quality of food, service, and ambiance is extraordinary and never disappoints. The Brasserie affords more intimate and less formal dining, with the same excellence from the kitchen. My calves liver was nothing short of sublime. Even the seasonal mulled wine was simply... special. This kind of dining and the entire experience is to be cherished.

Our first time to Jacques Brasserie and we found it very good. The food was excellent (trout and beef bourguignon), and the wine list is outstanding. Highly recommend the seafood pastry appetizer!Service was bistro-level: nothing to complain about, and nothing exceptional. The place was totally full at 6:30 on a Friday, including every seat at the small bar (5-6 seats & two small tables in the bar area). But the whole place was mostly empty by 8:00. Plenty of parking on-site. Although Jacques Brasserie is the less expensive adjunct to the white-tablecloth Auberge Chex Francois, it is still pricey enough to be a special occasion destination for us.

Nice spot for a casual lunch.The food and service were beyond compare. I heartily recommend the bouillabaisse, the house special aperitif, and the dark chocolate tart--especially if you are a chocolate lover.

Bottom line - AWSOME ! We have been coming here for over 30’years. Never disappointed! During the holidays it’s a wonderful experience, all decked out for the holidays it’s hard to leave. Pam is an excellent bartender and would highly recommended all her cocktails. My wife had the Apple Mimosa and It was excellent! David is a great server and very attentive to all our needs and offers great wine recommendations. Save room for dessert , chocolate tart and Hazelnut cake out favorites. Another nice feature , is the Gluten Free options from bread at the table , many entrees and dessert.

I LOVE everything about Jacques' Brasserie at L'Auberge Chez Francois. I love L'Auberge Chez Francois so I love the Brasserie. The Brasserie is a little piece of heaven. It is a smaller version of L'Auberge Chez Francois. I love everyone there. Dany is wonderful. I could sit there all day with a beer and some of their garlic toast w/ cheese. On this occasion I switched things up a little. I got the onion soup which was hearty and wonderful. I got my usual of the roquefort tart which I LOVE. I ordered some frites with hollandaise and finished with my raspberry soufflé'. My husband changed things up a bit. He usually gets the sunday chicken but on this occasion he got the country ham and goat cheese omelet. I took a bite and it was so good! I also tried a new drink that was out of this world - the pumpkin white russian was AMAZING!
